How to choose the best chest of drawers
The perfect chest of drawers can be more than a practical, convenient place to store clothes, accessories and trinkets. It can also be a furniture centrepiece that adds character and style to your room. Here are some ideas on what to consider when you pick out the chest of drawers that’s just right for your home.
Do you want your storage to blend in or stand out?
For a seamless look, you can choose a chest of drawers that matches – in colour and materials – the rest of your bedroom. For a bold design statement, go with a chest of drawers that stands out from your current décor instead. Then, once you’re happy with the look on the outside, take some time to focus on the inside as well. There are a lot of different interior organisers to choose from, pick the ones that fit both your drawers and your belongings.
Alone or side by side?
The details are what determines which chests of drawers prefer to stand alone, and which ones are suitable to place side by side. Those that have a top shelf or bottom list that stand out, prefer to stand alone. The ones with even edges on the sides can be placed right next to each other, all according to how many you need or can fit. Even if they have different heights or widths, many of those side-by-side ones can be combined to fit any space.
Grab hold of the important details
The knobs! Most drawers fit with different types of knobs or handles, that give them completely different looks. Changing the knobs is also the easiest way to renew the look of an old chest of drawers. Storage units in solid wood allow for another way to personalise or renew them, with paint! There are styles and sizes to fit all preferences.
Plan ahead for a perfect fit
However big or small your space, there’s bound to be one (or two?) IKEA chest of drawers that slots in perfectly, both in width and height. Just be sure to double-check the measurements and potential wall obstructions before you choose. Remember that you’ll need enough room to pull out the drawers all the way, once it is in place. Another detail to consider is whether you want the chest of drawers to have legs or stand straight on the floor?
Top it off!
The superpower of any chest of drawers is obviously the huge storage capacity of those drawers. But to top it off, there’s that flat top just waiting to be the display for things you actually want to see, when everything else is neatly hidden in the drawers. A lamp, vase, piece of art, collectibles, candles or perhaps a mirror – this is the place to show the finest!
Stay one step ahead of tip-over accidents
Safety is fundamental when we develop our products. But no one can predict all different scenarios – like a pulled-out drawer being used as support to stand up or kids building a blanket fort. And accidents often happen when you least expect it. So, the best way to reduce the risk of tip-over accidents is to anchor your product to the wall. For peace of mind, every day.
